WOYWW 260 - HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY JULIA

How can you not start with a title like that! the wonderful Julia has accomplished bringing many people from all parts of the globe together weekly for 5 years, now that is dedication, bravo & congratulations.  Some celebrated the WOYWW crop over in the UK, I couldn't attend so, I just couldn't swim that far across the pond.  I celebrated it with Yoda as you can see.  He is tucked up with his little WOYWW mouse from Sandra de whom sent me an amazing ATC and a tag with some brilliant tissue paper but you will have to wait to see the ATC next week in case she is swapping with someone else.  Yoda loves his mouse.







Yes I still have my desk to show and it is in Mayhem, I am doing about 6 different jobs at once. I have been home for a few days trying to rest as the body is in shutdown and the best way to handle that is play.  I have all sorts of crap on the desk and the desk is extended too.  Cord from my daughters tracksuit pants mended.  (Hey not brain science there)  A basket full of cards to go postal to Bridget. There is allsorts of stuff, so check it out and ask away, after all there is lots to see and many desks to visit.  Sorry the next photo one might be a bit better angle for you to perv.

Yes I am contributing in the ATC swap so the person below me I will email and we can exchange addresses.  The ATC is still in hiding until next week.




Ok I know it is Wednesday here and it is 2.40 am but I figure I am doing charity work today and it is easy to post now.

Have a happy crafting week everyone and again Happy WOYWW.

Hugs Eliza & Yoda

Happy 5th Anniversary, Eliza (and Yoda). I'd like to thank you for the fun and friendship you have extended to me over the past couple of years. Of all the overseas folk I talk to, you are one of the group that I'd really like to meet up with one day.
Take care of yourself - it sounds like you need a bit of R&R....
Sending HUGS across the world,

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I didn't like to read that your body had shut down. Not a good thing. So, I'm hoping you will feel better soon.

I had to laugh at Mrs. D (Chris) who was my PIF sender. She started with "Hi Elizabeth and YODA." Now, as much as I would love to take that darling ball of furless beauty, I'm going to have to stick with my furball.

BTW, you were the inspiration for me decorating my envelope for my PIF. I swear, I'm horrible at it. Give me glue and scissors any day, and keep the inks and stamps away from me (grin).

Happy, happy 5th WOYWW Anniversary from #22.

Hi Eliza! Your post was full of yummy visions from the beautiful creation in the fab tissue paper, to Yoda curled up with his sweet mouse, to your desk all filled with scrumptiousness!! I will get your ATC out in the mail this week; thank you for swapping with me! Happy WOYWW 5th Anniversary! (And I do hope you feel better soon.) Hugs, Darnell

Felix the Crafty Cat said...

You need to take a tip from Yoda and get cuddled up in a blanket, try not to overdo things.
Happy WOYWW anniversary, Angela x #41

Hi, Eliza and Yoda - I am immediately above you on the list so you will receive my atc - can you email me your address please? my email is in my profile but to make it easier it's helenlindfield@hotmaildotcodotuk (you can't be too careful with spammers!)

Hello Eliza. Happy blogaversary!!! That basket of Christmas cards for Bridget is amazing - wish I was that far on with Christmas cards. I can't quite get my head around that Sunday will be June 1st This year has just disappeared. Thanks for visiting already, and for your comments. I, too, am trusting John will be out for the weekend! 6 weeks is a long time for him to be in there - we will need some time to sort out new routines etc when he comes home, as he is still not well.
Have a special week - and get lots of R&R - I also think that spells crafting!!
Love n hugs,
Margaret #26

Hi Eliza, Yoda looks so comfy, all wrapped up and sporting a WOYWW badge for the occasion. Sounds like you are super busy with all those projects - look forward to seeing them when completed. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #97

dottielottie said...

Oh no! it's dark and I can't see out of your window, phew! never mind I've scrolled down your blog and got my fix lol and seen beautiful Yoda.
Hi Eliza,Your desk is very colourful I love those gorgeous strips of inky paper. Wow! you look like you are well on the way to having your Christmas cards done too.Sigh! I am interested to know what the bottle tops are for? Hope your spell of crafting has given you the boost you need, take care of you and yoda.

Robyn Oliver said...

Hi Eliza, Happy 5th WOYWW, isn't it exciting, I've thoroughly enjoyed desk hopping and seeing pics of the crop and the girls one blogs with every week. Thank you so much for your gorgeous mail that arrived on time - you are amazing (ATC, card and envelope) I love it. Looks busy busy at your desk and Yoda is keeping warm as usual..my Arthur has discovered outdoors so I've been letting him out for short trips. Cheers and have a wonderful week RobynO#35

Nan G said...

Been there done that...body shut down. No fun. No crafting for me when that happens. Hope you're doing better. Isn't the little man just adorable with his WOYWW button and wee mouse. "Now let me go back to sleep" is what his look is saying. Hugs and Happy WOYWW5! Nan G #77 guess I'm now 73 :)

Nikki said...

Dropping by to greet you a happy 5th WOYWW anniversary, Eliza (and Yoda)!
I had a laugh at your comment about my bunny! I added the comment that I didn't make it after people thought I did!
Wow, you've been busy. Good for you to leave time to play! Hope you are feeling better!
Hugs,

voodoo vixen said...

Yoda looks happy enough snuggled with the mouse, so you need to rest a little and give yourself time to feel better, no pushing to the limits and beyond. Happy 5th WOYWW Anniversary to you, hugs from Annette #3

You'll have to add Yoda to Mr Linky next time now he's got his badge!
Your desk looks great and it makes me miss mine. I will get my craft space decorated and re organised when the plumbing job is over. I'll only lose a couple of feet along one wall but the remaining area will be more usable. Can't be all bad!
Hope you get well ...
Happy 5th WOYWW Birthday!

Hi Eliza,

What a very busy desk! Yoda looks quite happy with himself!! I've been busy making a crafting area in my bedroom. I'm so excited about it as I won't have to pick up when company comes!!

I would love to go to the swap -- one of these days!

Thank you for visiting me already. I can't believe it's already Sunday and I'm just now getting around.
Happy belated WOYWW
Peace, Kay (89)
